General care advice
Keep the bag away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive humidity.
Avoid contact with liquids containing sugars, alcohol or acidic substances.
If the leather gets wet, dab immediately with a soft, dry cloth without rubbing.
Note: Pure water does not damage the leather, but impurities in liquids may leave marks.
Cleaning and nourishing the leather
For regular cleaning, use a light-coloured soft cloth or a soft-bristle leather brush to remove dust. Apply a neutral cream for natural leather with a soft sponge over the entire surface, not only on the stained area. Allow to air dry, away from heat sources.
Always avoid alcohol, solvents and chemical stain removers, as well as wet wipes or cleaners not specifically designed for leather.
Caring for light-coloured leather
Light vegetable-tanned leather absorbs creams and external agents more easily. Follow the instructions carefully and avoid using excessive amounts of product. With use and exposure to light, any marks will naturally soften over time, creating a warm and authentic patina.
Storage
Store the bag in its cotton dust bag when not in use. Fill it with tissue paper to help maintain its shape. Avoid damp places or areas exposed to strong light.
Frequently asked questions
How do I clean a dry stain?
Gently apply a neutral cream for natural leather and massage with circular movements. Allow to dry naturally.
How should I treat scratches or marks?
In most cases, a neutral leather cream and a soft cloth are sufficient.
Will rain damage the bag?
No, if it is only water. Simply dab the affected area immediately. Any marks will fade over time with use.
Every Boldrini Selleria bag is unique. Care for it properly, and it will accompany you for a lifetime.
